Both Sides Now

The sky at sunset

is a child’s science project,

tugged-thin cottonballs

& pink cotton candy cyclone

tacked to robin’s egg blue

construction paper,

pinned-on chunks of tree moss

for mountains, and high above,

a cut-out glossy photograph

of the waning gibbous moon.

Does a child notice this,

looking up? Imagine

if we all looked at clouds

like second-grade scientists.

Good morning!
